Model behaviour: Luna the lockdown dog - in pictures “The inspiration came from the toilet-roll stockpiling in this country,” says Alex Grace of her lockdown photography project involving Luna, the dog she fostered at the start of lockdown. As well as poking fun at loo roll hoarders, Grace uses cleaning cloths to dress Luna up as a nurse and captioned a picture of Luna wearing a rubber glove with the government’s “Stay alert” message. “That is as ridiculous as me putting Marigolds on a dog’s head,” she says, “but at least I know I’m ridiculous.” See more at alexgracephoto.com www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/gallery/2020/jun/06/model-behaviour-luna-the-lockdown-dog-in-pictures
